Samsung launches its Wear OS version, One UI Watch for Galaxy Watch 4
At the Mobile World Congress 2021, Samsung introduced its Wear OS version called One UI Watch for the upcoming Galaxy Watch. Following its collaboration with Google, the new and unified wearable platform will feature One UI’s functionalities on top of the Wear OS.
Samsung said that the new interface is designed to make the Galaxy Watch and smartphone experience more deeply connected. At the same time, the company confirmed that its upcoming Galaxy Watch will become the first to feature the new, unified platform it jointly built with Google.
Based on Google Wear OS, Samsung One UI Watch brings performance enhancements, a more seamless experience between the Watch and Android smartphones as well as access to an even greater number of applications.
Surprisingly, Samsung confirmed that its upcoming Galaxy Watch (tentative name Galaxy Watch 4) featuring the new unified platform and One UI Watch will make its debut at the Unpacked event later this summer.

Together with the new unified platform, Samsung One UI Watch will present an entirely new Galaxy Watch experience. Once you install watch-compatible apps on your smartphone, they will be quickly downloaded onto your smartwatch.
Furthermore, if you’ve customized your clock app on your phone to show the time in different cities around the globe, this will also be automatically reflected on your watch. Besides, if you block calls and messages from your watch, they will now be blocked on your smartphone, too.
Adding to this, Samsung will offer an improved watch face design tool, which will make it easier than ever for designers to create new watch faces. Android developers will be able to unleash their creativity and release fun, new designs that will be added to Samsung’s collection of watch faces later this year.
Thanks to Samsung’s research partnership, the Galaxy Watch 6 revolutionizes running with the University of Michigan Exercise & Sport Science Initiative. This collaboration is launched to help runners manage their health and physical activity by providing more reliable and accurate data.
The Michigan Performance Research Laboratory (MiPR) — ESSI’s core research lab — will oversee an eight-month study that uses the Galaxy Watch series to estimate the VO2 max and sweat loss of participants as they run.

The study will compare reference data against smartwatch data from both indoor (treadmill) and outdoor running trials of different distances, from 2.5km to 20km.
Runners at all levels grapple with sweat loss, dehydration and heat management, particularly during the summer months. Samsung and University of Michigan teams hope the study’s findings will further enhance smartwatch technology, giving runners more accurate measurements of their health metrics.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic feature personalized fitness coaching, advanced sleep management, and health monitoring. For runners, the new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature provides five optimal running intensity levels based on individual physical capabilities.
Additionally, Track Run helps runners record their runs while on a running track. During a run, Galaxy Watch provides in-depth analysis including asymmetry, regularity, and ground contact time to help improve performance and reduce injury.
Samsung has a range of Fan Edition devices in the pipeline, which could be released soon. The company will launch a new FE smartphone, tablets, and earbuds in the near future. A new leak talks about color variants, pricing, and speaker specifications of the Galaxy Buds FE.
A reliable industry source revealed that the Galaxy Buds FE could be available in Graphite/White color options. It features 12mm speakers tuned by AKG, similar to other Samsung earbuds. Additionally, the source mentioned that the earbuds may cost $99.99 (MSRP).

The South Korean tech giant is expected to launch the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series alongside the Galaxy Buds FE later this year. It appears to be a new strategy of debuting affordable variants of previously released flagship products.

Samsung will introduce a set of new Fan Edition products in near future. The company’s next-gen affordable TWS earbuds will be called Galaxy Buds FE, which shown in their best look in press images.
Courtesy of winfuture.de, we now have our best look at the Galaxy Buds FE. The new earbuds differ significantly from the previous models in which Samsung uses a multi-part housing with a centrally located touch surface.

Additionally, the company apparently wants to offer the Buds FE, as with some previous models in its range of wireless headphones for in-ear use, with rubber covers as part of improving the grip on ear cups of different shapes.
